Mumbai, April 19 (NationPress) Renowned television actress Rashami Desai has called upon Urvashi Rautela to refrain from trivializing religion following her controversial remarks regarding the 'Urvashi Temple'.
Feeling disheartened by Urvashi's statement, Rashami expressed on her Instagram stories, 'It’s disheartening that people do not take action against such absurdity... Hinduism is becoming a laughingstock in Bharat. By the way, her repeated response was politically correct. Representing India and deliberately speaking nonsense is truly sad... Don’t manipulate religion for your games.' accompanied by broken heart and folded hands emojis.
To recall, Urvashi allegedly stated that a temple named after her, 'Urvashi Temple', exists near Badrinath Dham. She further conveyed her wish to establish a similar temple in South India.
The priests and local residents, who hold the temple in high regard, have expressed their discontent with Urvashi's comments, urging the government to take action for offending religious sentiments.
Subsequently, Urvashi's team released a statement asking everyone to ‘Listen to the video thoroughly before commenting.’
The statement clarified, 'Urvashi Rautela mentioned that there is a temple in my name in Uttarakhand, not a temple dedicated to Urvashi Rautela. People simply hear “Urvashi” or “temple” and wrongly assume it’s about worshipping Urvashi Rautela. Please listen to the video carefully before forming an opinion.'
In reference to past incidents where Urvashi was referred to as 'Damdami Mai' at Delhi University, they added, 'Urvashi acknowledged that she was worshipped as “Damdami Mai” there, and there is an article covering it. Legal action should be pursued against anyone who misinterprets Urvashi Rautela’s statements.'
'It’s crucial to verify facts thoroughly before making unfounded accusations or derogatory comments about any individual. Everyone in society should treat one another with respect and understanding to protect everyone’s rights.' the statement concluded.
